INTRODUCTION
This manual provides service information for the adjustments
of mechanical and electrical operations.
Due to design modifications, the servicing procedures and
data given in this manual are subject to possible change
without prior notice.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING : Many of the programs broadcast by television
stations are protected by copyright and Federal law
imposes strict penalties for copyright infringement. Some
motion picture companies have taken the position that
home recording for non-commercial purposes is an
infringement of their copyrights. Until the courts have ruled
on the proper interpretation of the law as applied to home
video recording, this equipment, if used to record
copyrighted material, should be operated at the user’s own
risk.
WARNING :
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
This video cassette recorder should be used with AC
120V, 60Hz only.
SAFETY NOTICE
Before returning VCR to the customer a safety check of the
entire VCR should be made. The service technician must be
sure that no protective device built into the instrument by the
manufacturer has become defective or inadvertently
damaged during servicing. Observe all caution and safety
related notes located on or inside the VCR cabinet.
WARNING : Alterations of the design or circuitry of this VCR
should not be made. Any design alterations or additions,
such as circuit modifications, auxiliary speaker jacks,
switches, grounding, active or passive circuitry, etc., or use of
unauthorized camera, cables, accessories, etc. may alter the
safety characteristics of this VCR and potentially create a
hazardous situation for the user. Any design alterations or
unauthorized additions will invalidate the manufacturer’s
warranty and will further relieve the manufacturer of
responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting
from them. Do not lubricate any motors. When reassembling
the VCR, always be certain that all the protective devices are
put back in place, such as non-metallic control knobs, shield
plates, etc. When service is required, observe the original
lead dress. Components that show evidence of overheating
or other electrical or mechanical damage should be replaced.
WARNING : Replace with same type 1.6A, 125V FUSE.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Before returning the VCR to the customer, it is recommended
the leakage current be measured by the following methods.
1. Cold Check
With the AC plug removed from the 120V AC source,
place a jumper across the two AC plug prongs. Turn the
AC switch on. Using an ohmmeter, connect one lead to
the AC plug with the jumper and touch the other lead to
each exposed metal part (metal cabinet, screwheads,
metal overlays, control shafts, etc.), particularly any
exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis.
Exposed metal parts having a return path to the chassis
should have a minimum resistance reading of 1 MΩ. Any
resistance below this value indicates an abnormality
which requires corrective action. Exposed metal parts not
having a return path to the chassis will indicate an open
circuit.
-2-
2. Hot Check
The test sequence, with reference to the measuring
circuit in the figure is as follows:
(1) With switch S1 open, connect the VCR to the measuring
circuit. Immediately after connection, measure the
leakage current using both positions of switch S2 and
with the switching devices in the VCR in all of their
operating positions.
(2) Close switch S1, energizing the VCR, and immediately
after closing the switch, measure leakage current using
both positions of switch S2, and with the switching
devices in the VCR in all of their operating positions.
Repeat the current measurements of items (1) and (2)
after the VCR has reached thermal stabilization. The
leakage current should not be more than 0.5 mA.
AC Leakage Test
Avoid shock hazards. Do not connect this VCR to a TV
antenna, cable or accessory that exhibits excessive leakage
currents. If available, the television instrument or cable to
which this VCR is connected should have the antenna cold
check and leakage current hot check performed.
PRECAUTIONS
Handling and storage
• Avoid using the VCR in the following places:
- extremely hot, cold or humid places,
- dusty places,
- near appliances generating strong magnetic fields,
- places subject to vibration,
- poorly ventilated areas.
• Be careful of moisture condensation.
• If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air
will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called
moisture condensation.
• Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the
most critical parts of the VCR, will cause damage to the
tape.
• The VCR is equipped with a moisture condensation
prevention circuit. This circuit operates only when the unit
is attached to an AC outlet.
• Handle the VCR carefully.
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Do not place anything heavy on the recorder.
• Do not place liquids on the top cover of the recorder.
• Use the Recorder in horizontal (flat) position only.
• Avoid violent shocks to the recorder during packing and
transportation.
• Before packing, be sure to remove the cassette from the
recorder.

Connecting separate antennas (UHF/VHF)
Connecting the Television
To connect separate UHF/VHF antennas to the VCR:
1. Disconnect the antennas from the back of your TV.
2. Connect the antenna leads to the combiner.
3. Screw or push the combiner onto the ANTENNA terminal
on the VCR labeled ANTENNA IN.
4. When you are finished, refer to “Connecting
the Television” to complete your connections.
CONNECTION
Connecting a regular TV to the VCR
Before connecting the VCR to the TV, complete the cable or
antenna connections to the VCR. (If you have not already
done so.)
To connect a regular TV to the VCR:
1. Take the black cable that is supplied with your VCR
(called a coaxial cable) and connect it to the ANTENNA
terminal on the VCR labeled ANTENNA OUT.
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the terminal on
your TV labeled ANTENNA IN. (This terminal may also
be labeled VHF IN.) If you have an older TV without this
kind of terminal, you will have to use a splitter and then
connect the splitter to the television.
Now that you’ve completed the antenna connections to your
VCR, you’re ready to connect the VCR to the TV.
Because every television is different (especially older model
TVs), your VCR may need to be connected in a variety of
ways. See the Owner’s Manual for Instruction Information
ON:
• Determining if you need a splitter,
• Connecting TVs with audio and video inputs.

CHIP PARTS REPLACEMENT
Some resistors, shorting jumpers (0Ω resistor), ceramic
capacitors, transistors and diodes are chip parts.
When replacing these parts, note the following cautions.
Cautions :
A. Use fine tipped, well insulated soldering pencil (iron),
about 30 watts, and tweezers.
B. Melt the solder and remove the Chip Parts carefully
not to tear off the copper foil of the printed circuit
board.
C. Discard removed chips ; do not reuse them.
D. Do not apply heat for more than 3 seconds to new
Chip Parts.
E. Avoid using a rubbing stroke when soldering.
F. Take care not to scratch, or damage the Chip Parts
when soldering.
G. Supplementary cementing is not required.
1. Removal of Chip Parts
(Resistors, capacitors, etc.)
A. Grasp the part with tweezers. Melt the solder at both
sides alternately, remove one side of the part with a
twisting motion.
B. Melt the solder at the other side and remove the part.
2. Removal of Chip Parts (Transistors)
A. Melt the solder of one lead. Lift the side of that lead
upward.
B. Simultaneously melt the solder of the two remaining
leads and lift the part from the PCB.

1. DECK Cleaning
The following parts require cleaning whenever serviced in
order to maintain satisfactory performance.
1-1. VIDEO HEAD
1. Clean the VIDEO HEAD according to the following
method. Dust and other foreign objects on the VIDEO
HEAD disturb the normal PLAYBACK picture. To
clean the VIDEO HEAD, hold a VIDEO HEAD cleaning
cloth dampened with alcohol against the DRUM and
slowly turn the DRUM counter-clockwise.
Note : Do not directly touch the HEADS attached to the
UPPER DRUM ASSY. The HEADS are very hard
but brittle to shock (especially to shock in the
vertical direction) and are easily broken.
Never apply force to it in the vertical direction.
2. Allow the residual alcohol to dry thoroughly before
running a tape. The residual alcohol on the HEADs
may damage the tape if not dried completely.
